Received my copy of Timothy's first book of poetry today (Reflections in Short Poetry) and am already thoroughly enjoying it! There's nothing like having pages to turn...
It's pictured in my cover photo and can be purchased from lulu.com.
Thank you to Timothy for this wonderful book!

It feels good waking up early morning.
To Bless the Lord, the Lover of my soul.
For there was a time when God deliver me.
From cigarettes , my life was in total chaos.
Back then the evil demons kept attacking me.
Trying to drive me back to smoking again.
So much was coming against me back then.
But one thing I realize is that we rely on God.
Not on us when we become attack non stop.
For only his strength can get us through it.
But he was strengthening me into a overcomer.

The more we allow Christ to use us here my Friend.
The more that he shall use us to reveal himself here.
The more radiant that our Light shall become here.
The more that he shall bless us as well here on the earth.
The more that we shall see his Miracles and Wonders.
The more Gifts that he shall give us to use here too.
The more Healing, and more stronger we shall become.
For Christ loves to use us to reach out to the lost here.
To draw them unto him so he may save and heal them.

In the silence of the early morning with crisp fresh air.
I wait on him whom spoke this here day into existence.
To reveal to me the events that he has spoken into reality.
Prayer, bible reading starts in the wee hours of the morning.
Waiting for him to speak to me, on his plans for my day here.
For the words to the poems, he brings into my mind to write.
A gift from him to me to everyone whom reads these poems.
For he shall bless whom he bless and he Loves everyone.
For he lives to Love us and to bless us , for he is the God of Love.

When we first focus on spending time with the True Healer.
Then the rest of our day runs so very much smoother and calmer.
For we are giving the best part of the day to him to show him.
That we love him the very most, so then he blesses us as well.
For starting the focus of the day on him first , and he provides for us.
Because he knows our heart and that we love him the very most.
So when you begin the day with all of the Focus on him and him alone.
Then realize this he takes the little and bless it ten fold or even more.
Transforming our Focus on him building it up to even much more.

If you think of me in the spring,
think of dogwood petals
in my hair, greener grass
and new beginnings.

If the summer solstice
finds you walking alone
in the garden of the moon,
remember that I'm somewhere
walking alone, too.

If you sing of me,
sing in the fall
in blue flannel and jeans
like the saddest song of all.

And if I pretend to die,
and you pretend to weep,
I promise to do it in the winter
when there are no flowers
to send in your pretended grief.

When the seed
of envy grows
into a big tree,
the fruit is bitter,
and the tea
from the bark
stains your soul
and your poetry.
